Bronner’s Silent Night Chapel

2015

Introducing our custom ornament for Bronner’s CHRISTmas Wonderland, the World’s Largest Christmas Store! This cottage is a replica of the St. Nicholas’ chapel in Oberndorf, Austria, where “Silent Night” was first played.It’s said that when the church’s organ broke just before Christmas in 1818, Joseph Mohr had to get creative. Using a poem he had written, he and his friend Franz Gruber composed the now famous “Silent Night,” playing it for the congregation using a guitar.
